Thanks for the feedback on 1st and 2nd jab !

I will have my first Pfizer-BioNTech shot coming Tuesday and can't wait, my only question is : what about exercise ( I do 90 minutes of fast walking daily ) ?

Any idea ? I will ask my doctor too but maybe someone knows. Thanks.

In any case a good cigar is ready to celebrate 🙂
 

My doc recommended taking 24hrs off after 1st and 2nd shot.  Seemed to work well for me.  I also had Pfizer, and just noticed some low energy levels for about a day after the 1st and just a sore arm after the 2nd.  My wife had a headache for about a week after the 2nd.

Thanks so much @BigGuns - I guess pausing for a day or two will be in order. Much appreciated.

I don't know what doctors would recommend but I think you will either feel like you can exercise or you won't.  My guess is that you might miss 1 or 2 days total of your normal routine including maybe skipping a cigar day or two.  Not the end of the world though.  I tried a cigar on the day I felt the worst and that was just a waste of a cigar.  Now that I'm past it all and feel good, Sir Winston will be visiting me this weekend.  Good luck!

Thanks - I was counting on a 1-2 days pause anyway, no problem.

Will keep the cigar until second jab then 🙂

Wife and I got 2nd Moderna shot a week ago.

She had some pretty bad body aches the night of and day after. I felt nothing until the following night - just a bit of chills and sweat, but very mild. 

Now we are both fully vaxed

[Kaptain Karl]

My second Pfizer shot gave me pretty solid fatigue for 48 hours, no other symptoms besides that!

I wondered why cigars were lasting longer than normal on 24:24 for the past few days.  😁

Wife and I are fully vaxed. Moderna gave her flu-like. Pfizer for me, nothing. Older kid 1st Pfizer, nothing. Second kid just became eligible for Pfizer and we'll schedule the shot as soon as we can book through the local pharmacy  or state vaccine site.

So, by early summer, our entire family should be protected.

Interesting story...I'll give you the brief version:

My wife went to see an endocrinologist who thinks the vaccine may have triggered an autoimmune disorder.  "There's so much about this vaccine we don't know."

More and more cases of fully vaccinated people catching Covid19 are becoming news.

New York Yankees have 7 cases of COVID-19 among fully vaccinated coaches & staff right now.

Vaccines aren’t Teflon, you can still catch it.  It’s just your body now has experience or a memory of how to fight it.  Giving you the best chance of successfully warding it off.  Most don’t see symptoms, many will see symptoms like some got from the vaccine, less will get sick, very few will get really sick, far fewer will die.  It’s not a 100%.  Inject 200 million people and 5% equals 10 million people.  It’s just math, of course we are going to hear stories of people getting sick after vaccination, especially with all those people having access to InstaTwitterFaceGram.

Be interesting to know if they were tested due to random symptoms or just regular testing, a vaccine surely can't stop you 'catching' an illness, you still get it on your hands, up your nose etc, but once it's in you your immune system can fight it off - which surely isn't instant, so if exposed to the illness wouldn't you potentially test positive for it while your immune system is mopping it up?

Has there ever been (before this) a rollout of a vaccine where huge numbers of people were being tested regularly after getting the vaccine, whether they showed symptoms or not?

 

Update - Just checked, 6 of the 7 were symptomless - so in normal circumstances we wouldn't even know they 'have' covid (whether they can transmit it as they were effectively fighting it off is another question), and I can't find details of the symptoms for the one who did have symptoms.

Just a hunch but I bet if we tested regularly throughout winter for flu a lot of vaccinated people would 'have' it, without really getting it/being actively symptomatic.

That is a really good sign if 6 out of 7 had no symptoms the vaccine certainly helped in reducing the symptoms

Also the CDC just announced all vaccinated folks can take of their masks indoors and outdoors and don't need to physical distance any more

Throwing another data point out there - 

Been fully vaxxed for over a month. Pfizer-BioNTech. No side effects from 1st shot besides sore arm. Felt fatigued, run down for ~24 hours after 2nd shot. Feeling great since then, especially about the vacation my wife (also fully vaxxed, same story) and I booked.

Which one?  you can take your pick, there’s three different vaccines available where I live. I chose Moderna. They’ve been studying the technology behind the Moderna vaccine for longer than 10 years, so I’m not too worried about it. 

All of them. I'm 35 in top shape. No need to put a product in my blood that is still in "test" phase. All of the vaccines are in "test" phase till end 2022/begining 2023. It's no conspiracy, it's fact.

Smoking tobacco is more dangerous than the vaccines in my eyes.  

[Bijan]

Booked for June 2nd for either Pfizer or Moderna. My wife got hers on Monday, it was Pfizer.

[kcmontie]

I got J&J the day after it was approved for my age group and took my 13 year old son yesterday for his first Pfizer yesterday. Ready for Hawwii. My wife got it long ago because she works at the V. A.

My wife and I never get the flu vaccine, but her mom gets vaccinated every year, religiously. And yet without fail, we never get the flu but her mother gets the flu every single winter, despite being vaccinated. We live in a tropical climate though, and her mom lives in the North East, so weather is probably a factor.

There is no way of knowing what strain of flu she gets, or whether she was vaxxed against that strain or not. However, her symptoms are usually relatively mild and pass within a few days, so maybe the vax is doing something for her, I don't know. Her mom's husband works in retail, interacting with customers all day long, so that is likely the transfer agent. He finally retired as soon as COVID broke out, and she didn't get the flu this past winter, probably coincidence.

Getting close to the 6 month mark for us. Wondering what and when the booster will be recommended. 

[Hollywood Ninja]

First dose of Moderna put me down for a day. I wonder what the 2nd dose will feel like. Can’t wait to get back out and play gigs. The college I teach at is requiring vaccination to return back to campus in the Fall.

The pharmaceutical companies are praying that boosters will be needed every season.  Such a windfall.  How much do they charge for each vial?  Pharmaceutical companies are the largest lobbyist's in Washington, DC...

Just as a lawyer prays to walk outside to a semi-truck multi-vehicle collision, as a realtor prays for free money loans for buyers, as a purveyor of cigars prays for a swarm of tobacco crackheads casing 24:24, as a builder prays for relocation of buyers from one area of overtaxation to overload an area of low taxation, as a baker prays for a bus of fat kids to stop at the vegan restaurant next door…

On a different thought, how effective do we think the treatments in certain socialist/communist countries (cough..Cuba) will be in comparison. The data coming from the vaccines from China is somewhat telling.

No money = No innovation.

Not very ... cough ... effective. I wouldn't trust them.

Got my first Pfizer shot 10 days ago, second shot in August. 

That is a very long interval for Pfizer - here in Germany it is 3 to 4 weeks apart.
